Pennington would welcome return to Jets, report says

APChad Pennington's season ended with a shoulder injury in week 3.If the Jets find themselves in the market for a backup quarterback this offseason, they may be able to turn to a familiar face to fill that spot on the roster.Would you welcome Chad Pennington back to the Jets?(poll)Miami quarterback Chad Pennington, who spent his first eight years in the NFL with the Jets, said on Thursday that while it'd be tough returning to the team that jettisoned him for Brett Favre less than two years ago, he'd bee foolish to rule any team out.

"I'd be crazy not to be interested," Penning told the New York Daily News. "Once you think you're too big where you can't entertain every opportunity, you'd better be careful because you'll be looking from the outside in."

Pennington, who will be an unrestricted free agent next month, missed the bulk of the season with his third shoulder injury, opening the door for Chad Henne who now, it appears, will be Miami's starter in 2010.

"Would it be tough? Sure it would be tough, emotionally, but it's always a possibility," he said of the possibility of returning to Gang Green. "I never rule anything out. Absolutely."
